Personally as a doctor I take a very broad view of what Lyme disease actually is. It is traditionally defined as an acute infectious illness caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, however in its chronic form it involves so much more. Other factors can take on a more Give your advertising significant role, such as co-infections with Bartonella and Babesia, budget the green light— bacterial Biofilms, immune dysfunction, hormonal imbalances and use our affordable auto immune responses such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

But the bull’seye rash is found in only about one third of the diagnosed cases.

Furthermore, many do not get any early symptoms and months later their first signs may be muscle weakness, tingling/numbness, tremors/ tics, optic disturbances, memory deficiency, psychiatric presentations, or other neurologic disorders.

Undiagnosed co-infections commonly involve the microscopic protozoan parasite Babesia transmitted by biting insects, commonly ticks. Bartonella bacterial co-infections are also transmitted by biting insects such as mites, fleas, mosquitoes, flies, and can be transmitted by ticks as well. A form of Bartonella is known as ‘Cat Scratch disease’. Other co-infected agents are Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis, tick-borne bacterial diseases that infect animals and humans.

• When Nissen graduated from college in 1938 he set about improving the invention. He called it the “trampoline,” from the Spanish word trampolin which means “diving board.” He began to mass produce them, but couldn’t understand why they weren’t selling. He found that people saw it as something suitable only for the circus or professional performers.

So he strapped a trampoline to the top of his car and took off cross-country, giving exhibitions anywhere a crowd was gathered: schools, fairs, playgrounds, and sports events, taking orders on the spot.

• When World War II started, he convinced the Army and the Navy that a trampoline would be a good part of a pilot training program. Pilots training on a trampoline became less fearful of being upside-down. They learned to control the falling and the turning of their bodies, and it helped them hone their balance and body control in mid-air situations. Soldiers who used trampolines in the service ordered them when they went home after the war.

Business continued to improve. In 1948, trampolining was included in the NCAA and AAU list of gymnastic events at official competitions. In the 1950s it swept the country as a fad.

• Nissen went on to build a very successful sports equipment empire, manufacturing gymnastics equipment and trampolines. George Nissen holds over 30 patents on sports and fitness equipment. At

Page 2

the age of 83, he won the Senior Fitness Award from the California Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

Nissen works to pass on his enthusiasm and love for the sport of gymnastics, which is where the story of the trampoline began: each year the Nissen Award is given to the outstanding collegiate gymnast in the nation.

TRAMPOLINE FACTS

• As a promotional stunt, Nissen taught a kangaroo to jump on a trampoline and then went to Egypt to bounce on top of a pyramid. He trained the kangaroo using dried apricots as treats and quickly learned that the best way to keep from getting kicked was to hold “hands” with the kangaroo’s front paws.

• When officials at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital did a study, they found that four percent of the patients seen in their hospital emergency room over a five-year period in the mid-1990s were there with orthopedic injuries due to accidents on trampolines. About 70% of the accidents were due to more than one child being on the tramp at one time, a definite no-no.

• Jeff Schwartz of Illinois bounced on a trampoline for 266 hours, 9 minutes in 1981, setting a world record. (That’s just over 11 days.) He was allowed breaks for eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom.

• The record for the most consecutive somersaults on a trampoline is 3,333 and was set by Brian Hudson (UK) at Jumpers Rebound Centre, Gillingham, Kent, UK on

September 18, 2003.

• A world record was set on July 24, 1999 when a team of 20 members of a trampoline club in West York, UK, did 29,503 somersaults in exactly five hours using two standard trampolines. This averages out at just under 1,500 somersaults per person, or about five somersaults per minute.

• In 1986, Cleveland State University’s Delta Epsilon fraternity fielded a six-man team that set the Guinness World Record for continuous bouncing on a trampoline, with 53 days of jumping between six people. President Reagan called the team to congratulate them.

COMPETITIVE JUMPING • In 1962, West Germany was the first country to host an international trampolining event.

• On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to 33 feet.

• In competitive trampolining, each contestant must perform two sets of maneuvers. In the first set, everyone must complete the same ten basic moves which include the three standard shapes: tucked, piked, and straight. The second set is freeform in which contestants make up their own routines. In all routines, the contestant must begin and end on their feet.

• During a competition, a trampolinist is in contact with the trampoline bed for just 0.3 seconds between moves. In 2010, a new “Time of Flight”

score was introduced into professional trampolining, which is calculated on how much time the trampolinist is in the air.

To measure it, a box is fitted under the trampoline which measures every time the competitor hits the bed.

• There are five judges. When a performance is scored, the highest and lowest scores are tossed out and the remaining scores are added together to come up with the final tally.

• Nissen always wanted to have trampolining included in the Olympic Games. This finally happened in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. In 2008, Nissen was able to travel to Beijing to watch the trampoline event at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was given the honor of testing out the Olympic trampoline before the event.

• George Nissen died in San Diego, California, on April 7, 2010 at the age of 96 from complications from pneumonia, having seen his dream become a reality.

Make your own sneaky, secure money keeper by cleaning out an empty bottle of sunscreen. Choose one that has a wide mouth if you can. If not, try to make an even cut at the top of the label. Then just slide the bottle open, put your valuables in and secure with tape.

It’s been used on turtle shells, elephant tusks, racing cars, the space shuttle, and human wounds. It’s cyanoacrylate, better known as Super Glue and an estimated 90 percent of homes now have at least one tube of it.

• Harry Coover was a researcher working for Kodak Research Labs in 1942.

He was trying to develop a clear plastic gunsight for use during World War II. Working with acrylate monomers– a type of acrylic– he discovered cyanoacrylates.

The discovery wasn’t at all helpful for the purpose of clear gunsights because the cyanoacrylate stuck to everything and made a big mess. He set the discovery aside. In 1951, Coover was working at the Tennessee Eastman Chemical Company trying to find a tough acrylate polymer for jet canopies. One day a fellow researcher, ironically named Dr. Fred Joyner, spread a film of ethyl cyanoacrylate between two prisms of a refractometer in order to see if it would refract light. It didn’t refract light, and the two men discovered it was impossible to pry the prisms apart again. They feared they’d be in trouble for ruining the expensive equipment, but the company realized the potential in the new adhesive. The glue went on the market in 1958 under the name Eastman Compound #910. Dr. Coover even appeared on the quiz show “I’ve Got a Secret” where he lifted host Gary Moore completely off the floor using a single drop of the glue.

• Cyanoacrylate is chemically known as C5H5NO2, but scientists call it CA for short. It’s a highly reactive substance, but the addition of a bit of acid stabilizer prevents the CA from reacting and keeps it in a liquid state. When the acid stabilizer comes into contact with a catalyst, its stabilizing effect is neutralized.

• This allows the CA molecules to react with each other, forming long polymer chains. The catalyst for the acid stabilizer

is hydroxyl ions, which are located in every molecule of water. Every surface has a tiny amount of water on it, and there are always miniscule amounts of water available in the air. The water acts like a trigger, allowing the molecular structure of the CA to change. The molecules join up like a long series of popper beads.

What was a thin liquid becomes a hard mass of molecular spaghetti noodles.

• If the parts being glued are moved during the formation of the chains, the chain is broken and the glue won’t hold.

It bonds best when used at the rate of one drop per square inch. More than that will require a longer bonding period. It’s tough enough that a single square-inch bond can lift one ton.

• Why doesn’t super glue stick to the bottle? Because it needs moisture to set and there is no moisture in the bottle.

• In Vietnam, soldiers were given tubes of super glue in their first aid kits to help seal wounds. Special kinds of super glue are now used in hospitals worldwide, reducing the need for sutures, stitches, and staples. It doesn’t work on deep wounds or on wounds where the skin does a lot of stretching.

• Super glue is now being used in forensic detection. When investigators open a foil packet of ethyl-gel cyanoacrylate, the fumes settle on skin oils left behind in human fingerprint, turning the invisible smear into a visible object.

• Glued your fingers together? Use nail polish remover. Don’t have any nail polish remover? Use warm soapy water and a bit of patience. Your sweat and natural skin oils will soon loosen the bond.

“No sacrifice is worth the name unless it is a joy.

Sacrifice and a long face go ill together.� -- Mahatma Gandhi

************************ Thoughts for the Day: “Women are like elephants to me. I like to look at ‘em, but I wouldn’t want to own one.� -- W.C. Fields

â—? In the 1960s, the miniskirt was still controversial.

Both the Vatican City and Disneyland refused entrance to women wearing the short skirts.

� Have you ever heard of an artist by the name of John Banvard? You’re to be forgiven if the name is unfamiliar; few people these days remember him. In the mid-19th century, though, he was something of a phenomenon.

In 1840, the then-25-year-old man set off on a skiff down the Mississippi River. He spent more than a year on the river, sketching steadily along the way. After he completed the voyage, he spent another five years painting his “Panorama of the Mississippi,� an ambitious work that was 12 feet wide and more than 3 miles long.

When completed, the painting was mounted on two upright revolving cylinders and displayed for the paying public throughout the U.S. and Europe, earning him $200,000 along the way.

� If you’re like the average American, you laugh 15 times every day.

â—? Those who study such things say that explorer Christopher Columbus had blond hair.

â—? Though there are an estimated 600,000 words in the English language, only 1,500 to 2,000 words make up 99 percent of all speech in America.

â—? The Hula Hoop was introduced in the United States in early 1958, and the craze rapidly became one of the biggest in history up to that time. Shortly thereafter, the British Medical Journal blamed an uptick in back, neck and abdominal injuries on the fad.

� If you’re worried about catching a cold from another person, you should be more worried about handshakes than sneezes.

� Half of all the world’s flower species can be found in South America.

� It was Founding Father Thomas Jefferson who made the following sage observation: “The tax which will be paid for education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people to ignorance.�

Continued Pg. 2

• George Nissen was a three-time National Tumbling Champion for the years 1935–1937. As a young adult he became fascinated watching the acrobats at the circus falling into the nets from the high wire, sometimes doing amazing tricks and twists as they bounced. He also watched vaudeville acts that used springboards in their acts. One actor would pretend to fall into the orchestra pit, only to bounce back up on the stage. And he’d heard that Eskimos stretched walrus skins between stakes in the ground and then bounced up and down on them just for fun. Inspired by a love of gymnastics, Nissen wanted to invent some kind of “jumping table.â€? • He started work on his invention in 1926 while still in school, scavenging materials from the local dump, and tinkered with the idea for over ten years. Finally, using the rails from a bed, rope, strips of inner tube, and some canvas, Nissen and a local gymnastics coach named Larry Griswold came up with a prototype. They took it to the YMCA where Nissen worked as an instructor to test market it. The kids stood in long lines for a chance to bounce on it.
